The Prophetess was back to give the Chief of the Diadoma tribe the feedback and she was smiling as she sat with him once again, ofcourse she tried her best to keep her smile so real to avoid the fat man noticing she didn't like him. The Chief was eager to hear what Lume had to say to his proposal."You see my lord, sorry my Chief, you already know just like I told you earlier that the lady you are asking to come to bed with you is a daughter of a Prophetess but then I made a promise to talk her to it and somehow she accepted but...but there is a condition attached to it""whatever the condition may be" the fat man sounded excited and this irritated the Prophetess the more and she wondered what exactly was wrong with the old man. She however didn't want to spoil the whole thing as she went further to tell him that already Lume had accepted to be with him for that night but on the condition that the Chief wasn't going to see her face as he made love to her. At this the the Chief didn't
Amanda the maid whom Akiza slept with and became sick had hid in one of the rooms where the maids were allowed to stay and while she sat there she kept shivering for she could not understand what happened; why Akiza was dying, and she hid there for two days without food or water. When she finally stepped out she didn't need anyone to tell her that the Queen had taken her son away on her dragon and nobody knew where she was taking him to but none questioned her, not even the physicians who were attending to her son.When Akiza's mother reached the gods cave in Dodo she dismounted her dragon and helped her son down from him. She then looked directly towards the cave and paused for a second. She felt strange and somehow she suspected all was not well. She then turned to the dragon letting him know to be alert and the dragon growled. Samata then was about entering the cave when suddenly Aromo stepped out holding onto the mother of magic and forcing her to move with a sword pointing at her
It was late at night when Amanda was heading to the well in the palace to fetch some water with a bucket. Suddenly someone came to her front and stood there. She was startled at first until she recognized the face of the one standing there. She didn't want a situation whereby she would scream and awake others in the palace. She needed that water so as to bath and she needed the young man to step away from her front. That was Ohu, one of the palace male servants who had refused to let her be. He had been pestering her to accept to be his woman but time and again she had made it clear to him that they would never have anything in common. That night what Ohu wanted was to let her know he was aware of what she did with Akiza before he went into coma and his mother had to take him away on the dragon. When he mentioned this she was startled and she looked at him gloomily and wondered how he saw it. She dropped the bucket in her hand and asked, "What do you mean by that?""What it means is t
In the land of Abumu Ralf who had begun to sense this plan amongst the bandits to overthrow him and his Mistress had begun to make plans on how to address them so they wouldn't go about whispering behind his back further and because of this he called for a meeting of his second in command; the one who asked of him when the ones with Ralf in the bar where Ralf met Aromo for the first time returned to their base without Ralf. The second in command looked wicked and he rarely smiled. He was known to be prone to punishing the bandits that failed to live up to what was expected of them. He was ruthless, more ruthless than Ralf and his name was Lomi. He was not a man of many words and it was said that if a man is know for few words that man will be known for many deeds. That night while Ralf sat in one of the rooms of the palace of Abumu he was sure that nothing was going to make him give up the position that Aromo had given him without a fight. First he decided to have a meeting with Lomi
The mother of magic could not speak to Samata because she had lost her son Akiza to the cold hands of death and she was no longer interested to respond to anyone. She was not ready to have any word with anyone any longer and Aromo disgusted her more than she could tell. She walked out of the cave while Aromo followed her from the back and so was the mother of magic. When they were outside Samata headed straight to her dragon, she mounted it and then rode off. Immediately she left Aromo turned to face the mother of magic and the woman looked at her suspiciously now waiting to hear what she had to say."I have to go back to Abumu" she just said and made straight to where her men were standing and waiting for her. "You have to be careful Aromo. Things are no longer as they seem. You just have to be careful" mother of magic cautioned her but Aromo who no longer wanted to keep on making a demand to have access to her own dragon was broken in the spirit. She mounted her horse and so did h
"My wife is dead" the Chief Guard monitored her reaction after he revealed this to her. The lady remained seated for a while before she shook her head, "Sorry about that. I didn't know. Tell me more about her"The Chief Guard was happy she asked. "She was tall, fair and outspoken just like you but she died. I don't want to talk much about her any longer but why I liked the fact that you asked of her is because I would like you to be decent as she was and to converse with me just as she would""Well I have heard you but you see my dear you are too experienced to be this ignorant. I can't do what you are asking me to do. You should know better that this work is mine and i do it to survive. I'm a whore and what a whore does is to allow men to have her in exchange for money. I give you sex you give me money and then I go on living my life while you go on living yours. This is well known and I do not see any reason why you would try to make it complicated by telling me to be like someone
It happened that after the men who were labourer rebuilding the palace of the land of Akozo had refused to resume work until the Queen, Samata comes to pay them a visit and tell them when they must receive their wages the Queen Samata who had spoken of letting them have that meeting with her dragon instead went into the place where Rula; the dragon was and let him loose, giving him a command. The dragon flew and descended heavily on the workers, eating most of them whereas those that were lucky enough to escape went back to work without being told to do so. The dragon then stood before them and watched them work. At that moment Samata walked up to them and without a word climbed the back of the dragon and flew out of the city. The soldiers and the slaves who went back to work continued to watch her. She was heading to the open market of the land of Akozo. In the market it was a young boy who was pestering his mother fr food that looked up and pointed towards the sky, referring to the
"I want you to forgive me" Amanda pleaded."I forgive such crimes only when the person who committed the offence is one of my sisters. I can't forgive you my dear. You are of no use to me" she walked back to her seat and before she could call in the general to have him take Amanda to the execution block and have her head cut off Amanda said something that drew the Queen's attention."I'm pregnant" said Amanda."What are you talking about?" Asked Samata."I'm pregnant with your son's child" Amanda said again. The Queen remained seated there, not saying a word, not moving an inch and eyes focused on her face. She could tell she was not lying and for a second she felt like the one standing before her suddenly became the most important person on earth. She stood up once again and began to approach her. Amanda was not ready to be punched on the face for she wasn't sure if she believed what she said and so she took few steps backward and stood watching her every step. When the Queen had rea
